increase milk supply

I have 5wk old twins. They were 6wks premature. In the few days after my c-sec. I noticed that my milk supply was increasing. Unfortunatley, I had to go to the ER for a blood clot. With the added stress of developing a blood clot & my sons in the NICU for 9 days my milk supply decreased. On a good day I only pump 8oz. I'm fine w/ supplementing them w/ formula so they can thrive however I would like to incorporate more breast milk in their diet. I'm not certain if I should strictly pump for a while to increase milk supply or try to breast feed as much as I can. With twins it can be overwhelming & I'm trying not to stress about so any suggestions might be helpful. I'm on blood thinners for 6 months so I don't think I can take any herbal meds
